This lovely five bedroom cottage is set amongst beautiful woodlands on a high promontory on the edge of Bowness-on-Windermere. An outstanding location set amongst typical Lakeland countryside, within easy reach of Lake Windermere and the ever popular Bowness on Windermere. Set back on the eastern shores of the lake in a hidden glade, guests will be delighted by the lovely atmosphere afforded by the mature trees, wild flowers, bracken and the local wildlife.
